UNIT 8-P1 Describe the application of behaviorist perspectives in health and social care.In this task I will discuss the application/part of behaviorist perspectives in health and social care. Behaviourist approachIn Psychology learning is seen as a change in behaviour caused by an experience. Behaviorism, is seen as a learning theory; an attempt to explain how people or animals learn by studying their behaviour. The Behaviourists Approach has two theories to help explain how we learn, Classical conditioning and operant conditioning. In this task I will attempt to describe and evaluate this approach. Ivan Pavlov was a Russian Physiologist. At the end of the 19th century Pavlov was conducting research into the physiology of digestion in dogs. During an experiment he discovered something very interesting about the dogs’ behaviour and started studying it. He came up with the theory of classical conditioning, which lead on to more research into behaviour. During Pavlov's experiment dogs were hooked up to a machine that collected and measured saliva. He noticed that the dogs started salivating not only when offered food, but also in response to events immediately preceding the feeding. He referred to the salivation that occurred when the dogs where presented with food as an unconditioned response, an inborn reflex or instinct that did not require learning, caused by the presence of the food which he referred to as an unconditioned Stimulus; as food is necessary for survival it is instinctual to crave it. Through his experiments he discovered that if a particular neutral stimulus, with no inborn reflex response, such as a bell ringing, was combined with an unconditioned stimulus such as food then the dogs would learn to associate that Neutral stimulus with the Unconditioned Stimulus, and the neutral stimulus would trigger salivation on its own. The neutral stimulus had now become a conditioned stimulus, and the unconditioned stimulus a conditioned reflex,...

...Unit8P1- Explain the principal psychological perspectives
Behaviourism:
This psychological perspective focuses on an individual’s behaviour, the two theories which are Pavlov and Skinner.
Pavlov’s theory focuses on classical conditioning; he was working with dogs to investigate their digestive system, he attaches monitors to their stomachs and mouths so he could measure the rate of salivation. The dog started to salivate when the laboratory...

Ivan Pavlov was many psychologist to study behaviours. He used his theory about dogs and their response to food to understand salivation. He noticed that dogs would begin to salivate whenever they seen food, but eventually started to salivate just whenever Pavlov entered the room.
He noticed that dogs don’t learn to salivate, it is a reflex. It comes naturally whenever they...

(A) Behaviorist Theory
According to Crittenden, behavior is learnt through seeing what someone else does. This can be explained further through the experiment of classical conditioning. Classical Conditioning was developed by Ivan Pavlov. Pavlov used the experiment of dogs and food so as to measure the levels of salivation that a dog produced when food had been associated with the assistant. He...

PART A
I am going to explain the different psychological approaches in health and social care practice.
Firstly I am going to explain the psychological approach of the application of the behaviourist perspective which involves changing and shaping behaviour. By using positive and negative reinforcement, Skinner believed he could change/train any animal or human to change behavior patterns and this is achieved by changing or shaping behavior. Shaping behavior is...

Beliefs
Behaviourism is the train of through that all humans behaviour is a result of social learning from their environment. Behaviourist make there principle based on external behaviour for example body language. Another one of their beliefs is that we learn through social cues and through our environment and that’s what shapes the person we grow up to be.
